New Delhi: The Police in Delhi on Tuesday busted an illegal immigration racket and arrested 11 persons including five Bangladeshi nationals who were making fake Aadhaar cards, voter IDs, and other forged documents via a fake website.
The police officials said that one of the accused facilitated Bangladeshi nationals by producing counterfeit Aadhaar cards, voter IDs, and other forged documents via a fake website for which he used to charge 15,000.
He also said that four suspects wanted in a murder case were arrested. During questioning, they revealed that they had come from Bangladesh. They entered India with fake documents. Here, in Delhi, they contacted a person named Sahil from a computer centre who made fake birth certificates for them.
The senior police official also said that these people enter India from forest areas and head to the nearest town. There they meet a person named Sento Sheikh, who gives them a fake Aadhaar card and SIM card. On arriving in Delhi, they get a fake birth certificate, and based on this they get a real Aadhar card.
The police have also claimed that they have busted a website that makes fake birth certificates. The operator of the website, Rajat Mishra and others have been arrested. 288 fake certificates were generated from this website. We have arrested a lady who got a voter card made based on a fake Aadhaar card. The illegal immigrants cross the border with the help of a contact whom we are tracking.
Earlier Delhi Lieutenant Governor directed the Chief Secretary and the Commissioner of Police to launch a two-month special drive to identify and take strict action against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants residing in the national capital.
Around 1000 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have been identified so far across the city.
